The origin of sexy
I feel most pretty in an A-line dress,
pleated, with pearls.
Yet most gentlemen
prefer petticoats,
which nowadays
are called thongs.
I feel most sexy in shorts and sneaks,
running, soaked in sweat.
But society says, better yet
stockings, heels, a short skirt.
In a cardigan and cargoes
I go, unnoticed,
naturally.
No one imagines what’s underneath
or inside
which is where you’ll find
the roots of beauty
the origin of sexy
the cause for desire.
